Toilet Options for Your Bathroom Remodel

There was a time when the only choice you had to make for
your toilet was the color. Today, the options go far beyond the color and
include the style, height, features and how it flushes. If you’ve not thought
much about your toilet, before you get too far in your bathroom remodel, here
are some of the options you’ll need to consider.

Bowl Style

The two options are rounded and elongated bowl. Most people
find the elongated bowl is a more comfortable seat but when space is an issue,
you might want a rounded bowl. An elongated bowl needs about 21” whereas a
round bowl may only require about 17.5” although these dimensions may vary by
manufacturer.

Height

A standard toilet is 15”. Comfort height toilets range from
17 – 19” and are great for taller people or those with disabilities because
it’s easier to stand from the greater height. If your bathroom remodel is in a
kid’s bathroom, you might want to utilize the standard height for them.

Floor or Wall Mount

You may have noticed that toilets in many new public
restrooms are wall mounted. This option is also available for your home. The
benefit is that it’s much easier to clean around a wall mount toilet. If you’re
going for a modern design in your bathroom remodel, a wall mount will give you
that look.

Flush

For the ecologically minded homeowner (or someone looking to
save on their water bill), choose a low-flush toilet. They use about 1/3 less
water and today’s models do as good a job as a standard flush toilet. If you
want to save even more, consider toilets that have a dual flush option – one
for just liquid and one for solid waste.

The Washlet

Some homeowners are embracing the European bidet feature now
available on some toilets often called a washlet. Not only can it help people
with mobility issues but it may have a heated seat. Many people appreciate the
many personal hygiene benefits as well. Keep in mind you’ll need hot water and
an outlet nearby to utilize any of these features.
